    Add half a teaspoon of lemon juice,for every egg white,to add structure, to meringue

    Oh yum , that pie looks wonderful. To increase the structure of the meringue, add an acid, like a splash of vinegar or lemon juice. Or cream of tartar. For recipes like pavlova, where the meringue is chewy, add cornflour. Sorry, I think I just wanted to chat about desserts! Cheers from Oz ( house is looking great too! ) 😊

    The larch shelf will be a nice solution to that awkward bit of wall. Nice one.

    Hi, The sunset was beautiful. I love the smell & taste of citrus fruits. Especially Lemon Curd! I finished a jar just this evening. Clare, would be great, if you could do a cooking class - especially as you're the 'Queen of Lemon Curd!'
    During December, I'll be making mini lemon cheesecakes from crushed, plain digestive biscuits, mixture of Mascarpone cheese & lemon curd, each dish topped with (unwaxed) lemon zest. I have to wait until December, otherwise I'd make them practically every day. Take care. x

    • @WestCorkWander
      @WestCorkWander  3 месяца назад +1

      Definitely I'll do it in December as I usually make a big batch for presents!

    Hi Rob and Claire, I had a thought that i wanted to share with you both. in the hall where Rob in making long shelf, on the corner piece at the end of the wall from the living room, the wall going midway down the wall, make a nook on the end and make another nook at the opposite side, that way you have three nooks, and two corner nooks to put nick knacks on, long shelf and top nook. box in the water pipes. It would look lovely. Rob you are hilarious, you excitement on the Lemon meringue pie was priceless. On to another issue, Rob please get to sun spots check, i am concerned on the appearance of it. Blessings to you all, From NY

    I'm excited to see the shift of focus heading downstairs as there'll be so many wee architectural 'quirks' to be imaginatively overcome / highlighted.
    Would you consider ripping down a three / four inch strip of larch to add to the front of the shelf so it appeared to be much thicker and substantial piece of timber, and maybe shave the right angle edges with a stanley knife a bit unevenly so it looked older?
    Plus it'll allow you to pack out the shelf to get it level without having to fill in the horizontal gap with mortar, as the strip added will cover it all - You might have to add a packed to the corbel, but the strip added to the front of the shelf would hide that too anyway - If any of that made sense lol?
    Until I was your vids I had no idea that Irish waters could be so clear and inviting - The footage is amazing, and it's lovely to see yis both getting some quality time away from the build too.
    Clare just keeps on keeping on - Geting the proverbial 'stuff' that would wreck my head DONE lol!
    Glad to see the 'Party Barn' getting a mention, as I reckon it'll be epic!
    Finally, Rob, Rob, Rob!
    Whilst my love of learning and trying new culinary delights loves you, my type 2 diabetes sees your activities in the kitchen as a clear and present threat lol!
    Thank you for a great video.

      Thanks as always, love your idea actually for the shelf, especially as I wouldn't need to spend time filling in the gaps with mortar.
      Yes, as you will discover in our next video, we are dieting🤫 Gone full carnivore, so no more sugar or processed foods, could make the cooking interesting, but we will try and get your brown bread in 😉

    I saw that you have a humongous tree outside that is cut and intact--think about this one…make a round slice with a chainsaw-then make some boards the same depth, remove the bark and sand it all going up in grit and assemble it into a table any size you like glue all joints after using dowels where needed and then stain/seal-and or season it-you will have a one of a kind table with a circle in the center! You can also make a bunch of 3 legged stools out of smaller width trees! This would make a really cool episode and gorgeous furniture!
